All-Arizona wrestling: Safford's Trey Andrews state's top wrestler

Wrestler of the Year

Trey Andrews

School, class: Safford, senior.
Weight class: 120 pounds.

Season recap: Andrews claimed his fourth state title, going 56-1 and losing his only match to Mesa Westwood's Da'Wayne Robertson in the Peoria Invitational. He won at the Flowing Wells Invitational and then dominated everyone he faced in the Division III state tournament, pinning each of his four opponents. Andrews said he has not made a final decision on where he will wrestle next year, but he hopes to receive an offer from Arizona State.

Wrestler's comment: "I'm kind of in disbelief. I just want to thank my partners, and I especially want to thank my family and friends, and (my coaches), because without them training me and pushing me over the summer, alongside my dad, I probably wouldn't be the wrestler that I am now."

Coach's comment: "Our goal coming in was to get that fourth state championship. We worked hard at it, we made sure we stayed on task, ... and to get rewarded for it with something this huge is just awesome. I'm at a loss for words. I'm gleaming. It's kind of overwhelming." -- Herman Andrews, Jr.
